SAP on Linux Suse -vs- Oracle Linux -vs- Linux Red Hat

[#1]

Hello there,

We are planning on replatforming our ECC and BW SAP environments based on some version of Linux.  We are running Oracle on the backend.

I am curious if anyone out there would know why we might use Linux Suse over Oracle Linux and vice-versa.  Is there a technical argument to be made for using Linux Red Hat above all else?

Are the technical advantages for one over the other?  Are more SAP shops using one more than the other?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated

Another aspect to consider is that Suse for example has the special SLES for SAP Applications distribution, designed to aid deployment.

Newer HANA appliances also uses SLES for SAP rather than just SLES.
